Take a look at this case A skilled worker has applied for a working visa in Canada. She has two sons, one is 21 years old and the other is 22 years of age. She wants to put them in the application as her dependent children. Technically, children who are 22 years old and under are considered dependents. However, since the application takes more than one year to process, her children will turn more than 22 years of age at the time when the application is approved. At that time, her children must have finished their schools and are defined as independents. The question is, will the sons be eligible to immigrate as dependents? The answer The answer is yes, but its processes still depend on the definition of "dependent." Before defining that, it is important to review the case based on the following context. Many overseas workers apply to Canada as skilled workers. A skilled worker has years of experience and education on a particular field, thereby creating skills specific only to the field. These types of immigrants are favored in Canada and other western countries. Applicants under the skilled worker category are allowed to include their spouse and dependent children on their applications. When approved, the spouse and children may immigrate to Canada as well. For the skilled workers applications, dependent children are legally defined as those who are 22 years old or below. However, there is an exception to this definition. Children who are more than 22 years old are still considered as dependents if they are substantially dependent on their parents' remittances even before they reached that age. Also, those who are taking continuing courses until they reach this age is considered dependent. On the other hand, one important factor to consider regarding this definition lies not in the statutory rules but in the in the application status. Sometimes, information regarding dependents is "locked in" or "frozen." In other words, a child's age and financial dependency may be calculated or taken into consideration in three different situations: as of the application date, as of some other dates, or as of the immigration officer's bidding whenever that may be. Lock-in Date for Age Under this condition, the Canadian immigration officials (Citizen and Immigration Canada or CIC) have internal policies regarding the age of the children. They identify the lock-in date on the date of the skilled worker's application. The lock-in date is defined by the following adaptations from the CIC policy manual:
